Chapter 127: Arrival at Star City
The super train sped across the field, and from afar, one could see sentry towers standing tall.
There were sentries standing guard on them, and high walls could be vaguely seen in the distance. It was likely the base of a space-time gate.
This is one of the dilemmas facing humanity. When a new space-time gate appears, it is extremely random.
You have no idea where this space-time gate will open.
If humans react immediately when the space-time gate is opened, they can control the situation and reduce casualties.
In fact, it's not a big deal now if a brand-new space-time gate appears in the city.
Nowadays, there are various regular human armies stationed in the cities, as well as personnel from existing space-time gate bases.
Once a new space-time gate appears, the emerging fluctuations will be immediately noticed.
They can also react immediately and stabilize the situation in a short period of time.
The real trouble lies in the mountains, forests, and wilderness that Jiang Tian sees.
These places are sparsely populated, and when a time-space gate opens, it is difficult for humans to discover it in time.
There was once a space-time gate that opened in the wilderness, and no one noticed it.
By the time it was discovered, the alien army had already assembled and was attacking the city.
Fortunately, during that huge crisis, they happened to meet a gifted warrior.
This person, along with a small number of regular patrol troops, relied on his physical strength and blood reserves—far exceeding those of ordinary people—to hold back the alien army.
It was not until reinforcements arrived that he finally fainted from exhaustion.
This genius became famous because of that battle, and Jiang Tian was reminded of this incident as he watched the sentry towers in the distance.
These watchtowers and the space-time gate base in the distance were likely established for the same reason.
As for why he knew this, of course, it was because he found it in his teacher's past resume when he was researching his teacher's history.
Yes, the gifted young man with a nearly endless fighting spirit was none other than Jiang Tian's teacher, Zhou Shang.
Sitting by the window, Jiang Tian silently watched the sentry towers passing quickly outside.
After a while, a tall base would appear, and he would think about the space-time gate behind it.
Jiang Tian fell into deep thought, his mind racing.
Xue Ruyan, sitting next to him, sensed Jiang Tian's emotions, looked at his expression, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just had a thought," Jiang Tian said. "I once heard a saying…"
"There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that someone else is carrying the burden for you."
As he spoke, Jiang Tian's eyes reflected the figure of a sentry standing upright on a passing tower outside the train window.
With his current strength and eyesight, he could clearly see the figures outside, despite the high-speed movement.
Each sentry on those watchtowers seemed to be imprinted in his heart.
Although the human race was fighting fiercely with various alien races at the front lines, the people in the rear could live and work in peace. This was thanks to the contributions of countless individuals.
Whether it was the soldier standing guard on the sentry tower or the young man riding this super train to attend martial arts university, every human was working hard in their position, contributing their strength.
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, everyone in the train compartment looked at each other.
Leng Hao gave Jiang Tian a thumbs-up, feeling that this was a very good point.
"If that's the case, then we will definitely become the ones who bear the burden and lead the human race forward!" Huang Xing shouted excitedly, waving his arms.
For Huang Xing, his greatest desire was to step onto the battlefield and slay aliens, upholding the dignity of humanity.
After all, Huang Xing's grandfather was a hero who died on the battlefield, making great contributions.
Since childhood, he had grown up looking at his grandfather's portrait and listening to stories about his bravery.
That spirit and will were engraved in his mind—a passionate inheritance.
"I think as long as we stick together with Old Jiang, we will definitely accomplish great things."
"Even those guys at Hongwu University in Xingcheng are lucky."
Guo Qihang waved his hands excitedly, looking at Jiang Tian with admiration.
Xue Ruyan also turned to Jiang Tian. "Yes, classmate Jiang, the chef, may gradually change the situation of the human race!"
Jiang Tian saw everyone praising him so much and shook his head. "That's an exaggeration."
"It's not an exaggeration. Jiang Tian's dishes are the key!" Leng Hao also stared at Jiang Tian with admiration.
He had only been with Jiang Tian for a few days, yet his strength had improved so much.
The most important point was that Jiang Tian's dishes enhanced strength without any side effects.
This alone highlighted Jiang Tian's importance.
What would happen if all the students at Hongwu University in Xingcheng ate Jiang Tian's food?
Wait, that seemed a bit too exaggerated.
After all, Xingcheng Hongwu University was a martial arts university with thousands of students.
Jiang Tian couldn't possibly cook for all of them alone.
But one shouldn't be too greedy. If just a few people ate his food and improved their strength, they could kill more aliens.
That alone was Jiang Tian's contribution to the human race and the value he could achieve while pursuing his dream.
At first, Jiang Tian just wanted to be a chef.
These wonderful results naturally followed as he took steps toward that dream.
Jiang Tian spoke up. "However, after arriving at Hongwu University in Xingcheng, we will continue to improve the dishes, and there will be a larger output, enough for some people to eat."
"If the dishes I cook can help you improve your strength, kill more aliens, and enhance your ability to protect yourselves, then it might not be a bad thing."
Jiang Tian knew exactly what benefits his dishes brought.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian smiled.
What could be better than this?
He could fulfill his dream, become a top chef, and taste countless delicious foods.
Not only could he bring happiness to his diners, but he could also provide them with practical benefits.
And in a greater sense, he could help the human race.
How wonderful! Now, Jiang Tian could devote himself to his dream without hesitation.
It was truly amazing.
With a smile, Jiang Tian looked out the window. The warm sunlight shone in, filling him with warmth.
On the tracks, the super train sped forward, carrying the bright smiles of youth.
This special train, filled with martial arts college students heading to Star City, rushed toward the future.
...
Thirty-seven minutes later.
Hiss!
The train doors opened, and all the students disembarked.
As soon as they stepped out of the station, they found that the instructors from various martial arts universities had been waiting for a long time with their senior students.
